Is this cord THINNER than the regular 550 paracord?Why is the price so out of wack?

Price is related to specialized performance, no/low stretch, high strength/weight ratio, easy to store, and not for rigging parachutes, which requires specific parameters to remain in compliance with regulations.

There is no comparison between the two products. Tecnora has a higher tensile strength and higher heat resistance than paracord.

It is about the thickness of a braided fishing line. It's just very strong. Love it! It's in my just in case case.

Yes, it is really thin. Some kinda crazy high-tech fiber. Very thin, and also very slippery. Seems strong, though I have not tested it up to its rated strength.

It kicks paracord in its knots and steals its survival pack.These other kind folk answered right on, smaller, stronger, flame resist. It is a multi tool at this this guage.A tactical must have.

Yes it its thinner, but is also much stronger. I use it to repair tracks on rubber tracked vehicles.
31597
Yes, much thinner. I carry 12 feet of it in my back pocket and it's hardly noticeable. Expensive because it's kevlar

It's much thinner and it's at least as strong. Also doesnt stretch much and doesn't melt. If you need some really strong cord to keep in a small space it's worth it.

The extension cord I purchased is a 50amp 30' cord. However, this picture seems to show a much shorter cord that the one I have. My cord is heavy and seems like a much bigger coil that what is pictured. Hopefully, this just a misprint for the picture. The price is about what I paid for my 30' cord.

Lisa, I didn't ask what the paracord diameter was, I asked if I should double check the 100' measurement of my order, as several people have come up 7-10 feet short on their 100' orders. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it! JT.

Just so you know, and I'm not going to give a lengthy explanation as to why. The more strands of wire the better. So this cable is better than a solid copper wire would be. If you want to know why you can Google it.

Laura. This string is very strong, but it is nowhere near 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/32" thick! To get that type of thickness, you are going to have to go to shock cord, or parachute cord. I deal with cording and string all of the time, and I have yet to find any cotton, hemp, or nylon string in that thickness! Here is a link to 1/8 inch string, or cord, here on Amazon. I hope this helps! If not, you can contact me direct at thomsonprof at msn dot com. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HAMI53K?psc=1

Certainly does appear different,...even better. longer cord, smaller size and quick disconnects. It is NOT the same as my purchase, but I wouldn't hesitate in buying it. You can always cut the connectors off. Rich

The cord isn't too thick. It's like a medium size thickness, not to thin to snap but not too thick that its noticable. Mine hasn't snapped, so I think it depends on the wear and tear of the material. I hope this helps.

No, it is narrower. I put pieces side-by-side and the paracord is about twiuce the diameter. (~1/8").

Hello Ash, Thank you for your inquiry. It really is up to you, if you want to use something a little heavier depending on the project this is the Elastic Cord to use. Also it is easier to tie this one at the end into a knot. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Kind Regards, Elsie Customer Service Representative S&S Worldwide

Hello jd, The diameter of the paracord is 1/8' or 4mm. For product specific questions like this, it's best to contact the seller about the product. It'll be a much quicker response. Thanks!

I don't know the exact mm of the cord but it is no thicker than a number two pensile

I haven't tried it, but the biggest hole/notch for the anti-fraying end is snug, and the smallest hole is probably just fine for what you're describing. I've only used 550, can't attest to any other cord. I will venture a guess that it'd be super easy to drill/saw/chamfer new holes if you need something more specialized. This thing is really just about right for a lot of applications!

I find the braided one to actually be more maneuverable than the non-braided version that is the same thickness. The "ultra-thin" non-braided is the most maneuverable/flexible, but I feel like it's not a durable either. If you're not moving your cable around often it shouldn't really matter which one you get, so more of a personal preference. I switch between two displays on my laptop regularly and I like the braided version a little more for that, but have a non-braided one for my Xbox.

I'm not sure I can answer that question properly, but I will give it a try. Although it is thinner than other cables I have used, when I fished it up the wall to the TV port, I was not at all hesitant to pull on the cord when it snagged in the wall. It pulled through without a problem. Additionally, it felt really well built and solid .

I am sorry I can't answer. I got "side-tracked" ( don't all crafters once in a while?). Will use the paracord later.Dee

This is real mil spec 750 cord . Its 11 strand vs. 7 and it does have the one inner strand that is a different color which is used to tell which military contractor made it .. It is alot stronger than 550 cord but I have never used it for parasailing
